The members of the Fourth Section, who are prevented from investigating by the First Investigative Division, sadly leave the scene. Nonetheless, they secretly initiate their own inquiry. Three days later, Satonaka Keiichiro, the new chief of the Fourth Section, arrives. Satonaka believes he has been transferred to the precinct as punishment for speaking out against the unfair appointment of the prefectural police chief's nephew. However, Maejima Ryuzo, the head of police administration who assigned him to Minato-cho Police Precinct, actually wants Satonaka to monitor Togashi and the Fourth Section.
